4th Gen If you had to choose one Pokémon...

[Squirrel]

... native to the Sinnoh region to do a solo-run of DPPt with, which would you choose and why? Would you choose something strong to take on Cynthia's fearsome Garchomp, something cool to win all the contests with, or something cute to show off the region's brighter side?

Oops forgot DPPt thread tag :D

 

[Lycanthropy]

I'd chose a Pokémon I do like, but haven't used much in earlier playthroughs. It'd be something not too strong, because that's too easy, but it must have access to at least a decent moveset. It would probably be Honchkrow or Quagsire.

 

[Golurks Were Meant to Fly]

I'd probably choose Bidoof as it sounds fun to beat the Pokemon League with just a single bidoof

 

[Aether★]

Glaceon is native to Sinnoh region, although it comes from a Kanto Pokemon. I would love to solo the game with Glaceon. One of my favorite all timers.

 

[Sirfetch’d]

Lopunny duh! It's my favorite Sinnoh Pokemon and is a ton of fun to use. Sadly I wouldn't be able to use my trademarked MegaBunny but the regular is just as fun in game n_n

 

[loser]

Porygon-Z. I once swept cynthia really easily with porygon-z (I had other party members, i just didn't really use any of them) I bet I could easily beat the game with it.

 

[Rosehip]

Hmm...difficult choice.

Rotom or Magnezone? Both are quite strong, especially if you factor in Rotom's forms. Merp, I love them both! D:

In the end I'd probably go with Magnezone, because I love its typing and appearance.

 

[esperance]

Definitely Darkrai! It's just too cool! That, and it can be a real powerhouse too, so if I played right it probably wouldn't be too hard to win with.

 

[banjopop7_7]

Arceus the god, duhhh

If it is in Gen 6+ Sinnoh I would choose (Mega) Lucario.
Otherwise I think I would go with Torterra. He is my favorite Sinnoh starter.

 

[Hikamaru]

I'd use Ambipom, cute with a pretty useful ability to make use of weaker moves and it's also fun to use in contests as well just like Dawn's Ambipom from the anime.

 

[curiousnathan]

I'd choose something I like but is also a powerhouse of a Pokemon...perhaps Gible/Gabite/Garchomp haha. Overpowered I know, but it's really the only stand out Pokemon I can think of that fits the bill. Maybe Luxray, Torterra and Infernape too..hmmm!

 

[ProboVon]

Probopass for sure. Its previous form, Nosepass, is a Hoenn native, but Probopass hit the scene in Sinnoh. Probopass has incredible defenses and tons of resistances. But I'd choose it mostly for being one of my favorite pokemon.

 

[SparklingMistral]

I think I'd have to go with Piplup. It's one of the few Sinnoh Pokemon I really like, and I actually played through Platinum without evolving it at all. I had 5 other Pokemon on my team at the time though. I'd probably end up losing a lot, but I think I could do it. ;3

 

[XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE]

I think maybe Rampardos, it's got great attack and I think using solely a fossil Pokémon would help me stand out haha :) Plus I could use it in Tough contests :)

 

[Sun]

Actually when I only use the native ones during game plays. :)

Here goes my Diamond team!

Spoiler:

Pelipper and Bibarrel are helpers.
**Roserade is considered as native for me, since Budew, its base/baby form, made its debut on Diamond and Pearl versions.

An honorable mention to my Pearl team, Empoleon, Garchomp and Staraptor are Sinnoh native. I didn't include the pic here as the team includes a none-Sinnoh Pokémon, Rapidash. I'm forced to use Rapidash because the region was lacking of Fire-types.

So it's any of the Sinnoh natives that I have mentioned.

 

[KorpiklaaniVodka]

Weavile or Rhyperior. Weavile is nice to have around, considering it's my favourite Pokemon, and with moves such as Night Slash and Ice Punch, it could be strong as well. Rhyperior would beat the crap out of anyone who made fun of it since 2006. Also, both have surfing capabilities and both can use Strength and Rock Smash.

#respect4rhyperior

 

[Dedenne1]

Pachirisu

Umm its cute its my fav pokemon from sinnoh and lets see it'd be challenging which is the point so ya that'd probably be pretty hard but really fun!

 

[Aslan]

I'd pick a super cute NFE like Buizel or Drifloon! If you're going to be overleveled, might as well do it in style right? 8)

 

[Paulthevideogamenerd]

I would choose Spiritomb. Not only is it resistant, it's really cool looking :D

 

[Sheep]

Either Mothim or Cherrim. Mothim has been one of my favorite bugs since its introduction and it's really nice-looking despite being so underrated. Cherrim is also very cute in sun form.. too bad you can't see it without having Sunny Day up, which sucks. Also a big fan of Vespiquen and Floatzel. So many choices! I'd actually love to try out a Floatzel-only solorun especially. Seems like it would be fun~
